First, Crawford — a shoot-first guard who bounced from the Atlanta Hawks to the Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors in his first four pro seasons before spending two seasons in China and going the D-League route to earn his way back into the NBA with the Pelicans this season — asked his Twitter followers for some assistance in finding the shoes:

“I like the concept, but I think they’re going about the whole thing wrong,” Green said. “But, great idea, and I’m not saying it won’t be successful — I actually hope it does, I want everybody to be good. But $500 for a basketball shoe? Who we kidding?”

Clearly, Crawford is willing to pay the big bucks. Only time will tell if other players also want to be Big Ballers.

In a spiritual sense, Jordan Crawford has always been a Big Baller. (Getty Images)
